Asking a noob question after searching all over the web for modules as I build my system, which currently consists of all the basic components to build a 3-osc Moog-style mono synth voice. Say I’m interested in producing techno type music on my modular system. I am musically trained so my natural instinct is to set a clock module to 120-140 bmp (4/4) time so I need a clock multiplier with a 2x output to get 8th notes and a 4x output to get 16th notes.
Based on what I’m seeing in the widely available modules, clock dividers are much more prevalent than multipliers. Why is this? Are multipliers inherently less accurate?
Does this mean that most people (making techno in eurorack) are setting their clocks to 480bpm and dividing to get 8th and quarter notes?
What would be the ideal clock multiplier/divider I should be looking at?
